About this case study:
Brief
A newly renovated manufacturing facility in the heart of Cambridge requires modern fume extraction equipment to further Echion's development of cutting-edge XNO® anode materials. It's the first step in Echion's broader expansion.
Solution
Our team delivered three ducted fume cupboards, one recirculating fume cupboard and two walk-in fume cupboards. The second walk-in unit measured four meters wide, allowing Echion to store, weigh and process chemical materials.
Outcome
The fume cupboards provided Echion with the facilities needed to increase their manufacturing capacity and expand their workforce with a new generation of budding scientists. In particular, the four-meter walk-in unit proved especially useful.
Summary
Overall, Echion has proved to be a fascinating project. It's allowed TION to flex its creative muscles and push the boundaries of fume cupboard innovation. After all, it's not very often we have the opportunity to create a four-meter-wide fume hood.

Walk-In
Walk-in Fume Cupboards
Our walk-in fume cupboards are 100% bespoke because of the specialist nature of their use. They are the perfect choice for facilities that need to protect operators using substantial and weighty equipment, which is too large for benchtop cabinets.
Specifically designed for low-volume chemical-based applications, our ductless fume cupboards are a mobile, energy-efficient alternative to fixed, ventilated models. Each cabinet is equipped with a variety of filters and comes in a range of sizes.
Our ducted fume cupboards offer exceptional containment for a broad range of high-strength, chemical-intensive applications. We offer a selection of standard and bespoke cabinet sizes, each equipped with DW154 ductwork and a choice of mounting options.
